Mandeep Hamlet to Gertrude
You are a blind whore, literally. How can you not see my father’s ghost? Now I know that it is real, for its spoken words are true. It is the one who told me your bedfellow is the murderer of mine father. Therefore I am not as mad as you accuse me to be. Open your eyes and clean your soul. The fact that I can see it and not you, means the ghosts only show itself to the clean of heart. I am not mad, woman! Your eyes deceive you. But come I must bring forth what I truly want to say to you. Let not the temptation of that snake drown you in the mildewed waters of infatuation. Confess yourself to heaven, repent for what has happened and avoid the future. I tell you now. If there is a god, which there certainly is, alls who sin will be buried in punishment. At the moment that includes you, my mother. You know inside the sins you have committed, even though you bring them not to your tongue. You and I both know that Claudius is a wretched beast. He will pay for his sins. You on the other hand can escape persecution. My mother, in all your beauty and virility and kindness, can repent. Repent now or you will face the same wrath, that which will be placed on Claudius by Almighty God. I have committed no act, which needs repentance. You and I can rule over Denmark… together…. as one.
